It has become time that we changed everything we know about game reviews. So I need some people who want to do game reviews. (
That Means You
)
Well how would it work? Well I'm glad you asked because, I think I have a really cool idea on how this could work. keep reading keep reading I'm getting to it. Keep in mind, we need to review games. (www.N4G.com users) Not someone reviewing the game for a magazine or for work, but someone reviewing because of their love for gaming.
We can actually make quality reviews because we have nothing to gain from our reviews - that way it's like a friend giving you his or her opinion and those usually are the best kind of reviews. An honest personal opinion.
www.N4G.com has some of the best users. Since most of us here are already contributors and approve and disapprove stories all the time here at the site. So we basically already share info with each other all the time. Now all we need to do is share our reviews on games.
So what's the big idea. How about if we get a lot of users together every time a new game comes out like Assassin's Creed, Uncharted Drake's fortune, Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and so on. With Users just submitting their reviews with just the basics and a short statement about the game. For example: -Here's what it would look like, I was thinking something like this -
with the review coming under a Picture, then the whole thing can be submitted as a story.
The idea is if I can get enough people willing to give their review then people who visit the site can get an average based off of the reviews submitted. So then if we get like 10 reviewers, you will see a picture like the one below and the user reviews underneath, with the users name and there personal scores.. Then an average for the overall www.N4G.com users review score.
What would make it cool is that it will then be submitted as a story and when some comes to the site and types in the game or game reviews it will pop up and people can get the N4G.com users reviews.

Overall Gamers Comment: This game was amazing I loved it and you would be a fool not to buy it, it's worth every penny. If you have a PS3 you should also have this game. Stop reading this and just go buy it already. It's that good.

Above - This was just an example of how one review will look, of course each review will have the users name and follow the same guidelines, giving just a number for each category.
Now if this whole thing just sounds crazy and you don't think it's a good idea then don't blame me, blame it on the fact that I went to bed too early and woke up at 3:00am in the morning thinking I had a bright idea.
Now if you think it's a great idea, maybe even the best thing since slice bread, then don't hold it in let me know in the comments. That's really the only way this thing is going to happen.
I mean if people don't like the idea then I sure as hell won't do it. But if you think it's cool shout it out, or if you want to be a reviewer, put down in the comments - "yeah" and count me in as a reviewer... (you don't have to review everything you can just review the games you have)
So people Let me know what you think, I'll be waiting, and thanks for the feedback either way
P L A Y B 3 Y O N D or JUMP IN 360 - either way, enjoy your gaming...
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
i luv the idea bro. who better to give reviews than the gaming community - us.
i'll be a reviewer.
I like the idea too but there'd have to be some control in it. Otherwise people without a system or a game could "review" it and totally throw the scores and credibility of the whole process out of the window. And on the opposite side people being overly zealous and throwing a 10/10 out with a Gamespot user-esque review like:
OMGZ this is teh best gaem ever, BEST GAME I EVER PLAID!! 10/10!!1one
If we can come upon the terms of self policing the whole process in a mature manner it's welcome.
Definately needs a test before you can help review like the submitting news test.
I wonder what the mart will rate 'killzone 2'!!!!!????
I like the idea but there has been to much bias on N4G. There would not be enough objectivity. Too many outspoken and undercover fanboys in my opinion. Don't let others decide for you, do your own review. Just my two cents.
we have alreay made a whole system for user reviews. You will see this and many more new features on N4G when we soon start roling out the now very delayed fall update :)
